Knee injury leaves L.C. Davis out at Titan Fighting Championship 16

http://mmajunkie.comL.C. Davis (16-4) will have to wait a little bit longer to get back on the horse.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed with Titan Fighting Championship officials that a knee injury suffered in training has forced L.C. Davis out of a planned matchup with Jared Downing (6-0) at this month’s Titan Fighting Championship 16 event.

It’s currently unknown if the promotion will seek a replacement opponent for Downing in such short notice.

The 30-year-old Davis is a native of Kansas City, Mo., and recently moved back to his hometown. The longtime Pat Miletich product, a veteran of Sengoku, Affliction and the IFL, fought six times under the Titan Fighting Champiosnhip banner early in his career.

Meanwhile, Downing had looked to remain undefeated in a career that was launched in July 2009. A two-time Bellator Fighting Championships veteran, Downing was to fight for the first time since October 2010.
